Flowering branches climb two corners of this lovely rug, framed by a broad green border. On a cream field, a graceful branch of mauve leaves and small blossoms rises from the lower left corner, and another hangs from the upper right. Thin green vines carry them, and one ochre blossom sits low near the first. No medallion breaks the center, so most of the field stays open and quiet. The wide main border is a green ground with no pattern, a handsome frame around the cream. A narrow beige guard stripe runs along the outer edge. The pile is low across the rug, with pale spots in the field and lighter streaks through the green. It slips into a calm bedroom or study, the cream field and green frame keeping the room light and fresh. At 5'5" by 9', it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
About Isparta rugs
The largest carpet exchange in Turkey in its day was the Isparta Carpet Palace. Isparta rugs are town rugs rather than tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly and the field reads calm from across a room. This rug shares that calm, with a cream field left mostly open and the flowering branches kept to two opposite corners. The two branches mirror each other, one rising and one falling, which gives the open center a quiet balance. Its colors are few: cream, green and mauve, with a single ochre blossom as the brightest note. The wide green border holds the whole design in one unbroken band.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
